Setting up Pi-hole

Nice coming back to this. Needed a very fast and dirty way to push some basic filtering into a couple of networks so have jumped on Pihole.
Upstream DNS are set to 1.1.1.3 & 1.0.0.3 and then running a couple Hagezei lists over the top. Seems to be doing the trick with only AirBnB messenger being a casualty.
@Feek did you try to dig out any possible domain names to whitelist for wifi calling to explicitly allow or just disabled the list that you found causing it?

Oh yes, I need to update.
I had a situation a couple of days later when I had an incoming call, which I answered but couldn't hear anything, it was from the local surgery so I called them back and they said I'd not answered. I went straight onto my Piholes and dropped them both down to just the minimal list but at the same time, I remembered that a few years ago, I had a situation with my work desk phone, which is an IP phone. When anyone called me, I couldn't hear them and all my outgoing calls failed.
The fix for that was to reboot my Draytek 2865.
So I rebooted my Draytek 2865 and WiFi calling has worked perfectly since. I've left my Piholes with just the minimal Hagezei list enabled and nothing else and that's been perfectly adequate, I've not noticed any ads getting through which were previously blocked.
It was probably my router, perhaps a little confused by something.
